Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An apparatus comprising: a device comprising: a plurality of transceivers; and transceiver selection circuitry to: query each of the plurality of transceivers to determine a transceiver identifier for each of the plurality of transceivers; and determine whether each of the plurality of transceivers complies with transceiver regulations associated with a location of the device at least in part by querying at least one of a transceiver regulatory database and/or a local transceiver regulatory data store using the identifier for each of the plurality of transceivers; wherein: when the transceiver selection circuitry determines that at least one of the plurality of transceivers does not comply with said transceiver regulations, the transceiver selection circuitry disables the at least one transceiver that does not comply with said transceiver regulations; and when the transceiver selection circuitry determines that at least one of the plurality of transceivers complies with said transceiver regulations, the transceiver selection circuitry configures the at least one transceiver of the plurality of transceivers that complies with said transceiver regulations.

2

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry is to determine the location of the device.

3

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said device further comprises a plurality of universal asynchronous receiver transmitters (UARTs), each of said plurality of UARTs including a respective one of said plurality of transceivers.

4

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry configures the at least one transceiver that complies with said transceiver regulations at least in part by configuring a maximum duty cycle of the at least one transceiver that complies with said transceiver regulations.

5

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the device is a coordinator node of a mesh network, and the plurality of transceivers includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver that are redundant.

6

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry is further to determine whether each of said plurality of transceivers complies with said transceiver regulations: at a first deployment of the device; each time the device is activated; in response to a request from a management service; in response to detecting a change in location; in response to detecting a change in a transceiver operating parameter; or a combination of two or more thereof.

7

7. A method comprising: determining, by transceiver selection circuitry of a device further comprising a plurality of transceivers, whether each of the plurality of transceivers complies with transceiver regulations associated with a location of the device; when the transceiver selection circuitry determines that at least one of the plurality of transceivers does not comply with said transceiver regulations, disabling the at least one transceiver that does not comply with said transceiver regulations; and when the transceiver selection circuitry determines that at least one of the plurality of transceivers complies with said transceiver regulations, configuring the at least one transceiver that complies with the plurality of transceiver regulations; wherein said determining comprises: querying, with the transceiver selection circuitry each of the plurality of transceivers to determine a transceiver identifier for each of the plurality of the transceivers; and querying, by the transceiver selection circuitry, at least one of a transceiver regulatory database and/or a local transceiver regulatory data store using the identifier for each of the plurality of transceivers.

8

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining the location of the device with the transceiver selection circuitry.

9

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein said device further comprises a plurality of universal asynchronous receiver transmitters (UARTs), each of said plurality of UARTs including a respective one or said plurality of transceivers.

10

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry configures the at least one transceiver that complies with said transceiver regulations at least in part by configuring a maximum duty cycle of the at least one transceiver that complies with said transceiver regulations.

11

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the device is a coordinator node of a mesh network, and the plurality of transceivers includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver that are redundant.

12

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein said determining is performed: at a first deployment of the device; each time the device is activated; in response to a request from a management service; in response to detecting a change in location; in response to detecting a change in a transceiver operating parameter; or a combination of two or more thereof.

13

13. A system comprising: a management service comprising a local transceiver regulatory data store; and a plurality of devices, each device comprising: a plurality of transceivers; and transceiver selection circuitry to: query each of the plurality of transceivers to determine a transceiver identifier for each of the plurality of transceivers; and determine whether each of the plurality of transceivers complies with transceiver regulations associated with a location of the device at least in part by querying at least one of a transceiver regulatory database and/or the local transceiver regulatory data store using the identifier for each of the plurality of transceivers; wherein: when the transceiver selection circuitry determines that at least one of the plurality of transceivers does not comply with said transceiver regulations, the transceiver selection circuitry disables the at least one transceiver of the plurality of transceivers that does not comply with said transceiver regulations; and when the transceiver selection circuitry determines that at least one of the plurality of transceivers complies with said transceiver regulations, the transceiver selection circuitry configures the at least one transceiver of the plurality of transceivers that complies with said transceiver regulations.

14

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry is to determine the location of the device.

15

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein each of said plurality of devices further comprise a plurality of universal asynchronous receiver transmitters (UARTs), each of said plurality of UARTs including a respective one of said plurality of transceivers.

16

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry configures the at least one transceiver that complies with said transceiver regulations at least in part by configuring a maximum duty cycle of the at least one transceiver that complies with said transceiver regulations.

17

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein at least one device of the plurality of devices is a coordinator node of a mesh network and includes at least a first transceiver and a second transceiver that are redundant.

18

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver selection circuitry is further to determine whether each of said plurality of transceivers complies with said transceiver regulations: at a first deployment of the device; each time the device is activated; in response to a request from a management service; in response to detecting a change in location; in response to detecting a change in a transceiver operating parameter; or a combination of two or more thereof.
